The World This Hour for 2025/06/17 at 23:00 EDT

I'm Joshua Jackson, and I'm returning for the Audible original series, Oracle, Season 3, Murder at the Grandview. Six forty-somethings took a boat out a few days ago. One of them was found dead. The hotel, the island, something wasn't right about it. Psychic agent Nate Russo is back on the case, and you know when Nate's killer instincts are required, anything's possible.

This world's gonna eat you alive. Listen to Oracle Season 3, Murder at the Grandview, now on Audible. From CBC News, The World This Hour, I'm Gavin Day. Statements and social media posts from Donald Trump suggest the U.S. is considering entering the Israel-Iran War. The president met top defense and security staff with the potential for a wider war in the Middle East hanging in the balance. Paul Hunter reports. One thing for sure I can tell you is that the Pentagon is getting ready to give the president options. As the world wonders what steps US President Trump

may or may not take next in Israel's war on Iran. James Stavridis, former NATO Supreme Allied commander, sees clues in Trump's words so far. I would say President Trump is signaling the very real possibility that the U.S. would become more involved in this conflict. Trump underlined Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. In multiple posts on his Truth Social platform, he was more forceful. Unconditional surrender, he wrote in all caps. Also posting, he knows where Iran's supreme leader is hiding. In another post, Trump wrote, we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Trump using the word we without

explaining why that word in a war to date involving only Israel and Iran. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington. This underscores the importance of standing in total solidarity with Ukraine. Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced more help for Ukraine. Canada is giving an additional $2 billion in military aid and another $2.3 billion in the form of loans. Carney welcomed the Ukrainian president to the G7 summit in Kenanaskis, Alberta, as Volodymyr Zelensky calls for an emergency UN Security Council meeting after another lethal Russian attack.

We need support from our allies and I'm here and thank you for the military package. It's important for our soldiers to be strong at the battlefield, to stay strong until Russia will be ready for the peace negotiations. Carney also announced a new sanctions package targeting Russia's energy revenues. There's new information tonight about Monday's meeting between Carney and Trump, and comments the Prime Minister made about a one-month deadline for a new trade and security deal. CBC's Katie Simpson has the details from the G7 summit. Canada is making a concerted effort to pressure the Americans into reaching a trade and security agreement. And that's why we saw the announcement yesterday from Prime Minister Mark Carney when

he posted on social media that both countries are trying to sign a deal within 30 days. According to two senior Canadian government sources speaking to CBC News as well as Radio Canada, Canada wants to push the Americans to cross those T's, dot those I's, and put added pressure on the talks. At the same time, one source tells me that Carney would not have released the timeline in public in writing if he didn't think it was actually achievable. Canada and the U.S. have been trying to hammer out a broad economic and security cooperation agreement ever since Carney first visited U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House last month. And of course, this was

all prompted by Trump imposing a wide swath of tariffs on Canada while complaining about the Canada-U.S. relationship. That's the CBC's Katie Simpson in Banff, Alberta. Experts say freezing permafrost may have led to the destruction of a village in Switzerland last month. Most of the town of Blattin was flattened in a landslide. Swiss scientists say permafrost in the country's Alps is now at the warmest level since records began. And as it thaws, so does the risk of rock falls and landslides.

On dynasty's doorstep, the Florida Panthers back to back Stanley Cup champions. As seen and heard on CBC and Sportsnet, the Stanley Cup will call Florida home for another year. The Panthers beating the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in game six of the Stanley Cup finals. They take the series four games to two and successfully defend their Stanley Cup championship beating the Oilers for the second final in a row. That means the Cup drought will continue for Canadian teams. The 1993 Montreal Canadians remain the last Canadian franchise to win the cup. And that is The World This Hour.
